Capitan Melao has the seduction of Bossanova, the pain of a Bolero, the anger of Rock and the words of a dishearten poet always looking for love, who had it and lost it.

 

Capitan means captain in Spanish. Melao is a Latin American slang word for swing, rhythm or soul.

Music comes in different formats, languages and sources of inspiration. At the end an album is a compilation of one being’s effort to tell us a tale about themselves, their lives and their imagination.

 

Side project of Javier Weyler (Stereophonics), Capitan Melao is the consequence of someone born in Buenos Aires (Argentina), who grew up in Caracas (Venezuela) and lives in London (UK). This exposure to different kinds of music allowed Javier to put together a compilation of great tracks. This is a singer songwriter project that integrates his cultural influences and experiences.

 

Capitan Melao debut album is called Lagrima (tear); this 10 track album will easily get into your senses and give you an amazing trip around lyrics with a dreamy and poetic content. The music is filmic. Latin rhythms like Bossanova and Bolero coexist with more western elements like Rock and Electronic.

 

Most of the album work is Javier’s doing, however, he got together with some world renown talented musicians such as Roxy Music Phil Manzanera (Guitars on Terraplen), Mexican new revelation Natalia Lafourcade (Vocals on Estelar), Venezuelan ChuckNorris Carlos Reyes (Guitars on Te Amanezco), Music partner and creator of Le Picó Erik Aldrey (Guitars on Lagrima), among others.
